dead koi

15 years ago

I woke up this morning and found 6 of my 8 koi dead in my 400 gallon pond. It rained last night but as far as I know there are no chemicals near my pond. I checked the water chemistry and ph, nitrates, amonia and salt level apprear ok. The filter and waterfall are operational and water temp is fine.

Any ideas?

Sorry for your loss.. but 400 gallon pond cannot handle 8 koi.. hope you find the reason for the deaths.. again sorry I have lost koi myself for different reasons and its not a happy event.. goodluck.. and expand your pond if you want to keep koi.. were they new koi? Koi virus is a big deal.. hopefully you dont have this condition.. as it will kill off the rest..
